So the documentation patch is now part of this small series again.

Even if this documentation patch is a bug fix, it might be better at
this point to squash this patch into the patches 1/3 and 2/3. At least
I think that would better follow Junio's last comments about this. If
you go this way, you might want to squash the documentation parts
about -s from patch 3/3 into patch 1/3 and the rest of patch 3/3 into
patch 2/3.

Here I think you should say that the documentation patch is part of
this series again and explain a bit why.

Anyway I took a look at the actual patches in this series and they
look good to me now. So I would be Ok to merge it either as is or with
patch 3/3 squashed into patches 1/3 and 2/3 as discussed above.

Thanks!
